I understand your concerns. I wasn't sure if a workaround was wanted in
lldb. I attached one in case it was, and to have some code to discuss about.

The patch is based on the assumption that a class or a function DIE
shouldn't contain multiple identical template paramter DIEs. That template
parameters DIEs should at least differ by name if everything else is
identical. It looks reasonably safe to me, but I may be missing something.

As I understand it, the choice is to avoid the workaround in lldb, and let
GCC fix the problem. According to the GCC bug report, it's "Fixed for 4.8".
So the test case will get from XFAIL to XPASS by itself, someday :)
